Parents need to know that in this series, two single parents, their kids, and a lively, man-crazy grandmother live together in a non-traditional family. By making the main male character a housekeeper, the show offers a good twist on traditional gender roles. The evolving relationship between Tony and Angela -- along with subtle sexual tension between them -- is a central theme. Other issues explored include teen dating, parents dating, and jealousy. The series is particularly good for kids who understand the dynamics of non-traditional families.
